I Love Promarkers DT Card - Use Something New

We're back with a new challenge for the new year at I Love Promarkers, and this fortnight our theme is "Use Something New".  Yep, a lot of the use of the word "new" in one sentence!  We're sponsored this time by Kenny K, who very kindly gave the DT some image to play with, I chose this fun digi, called Ice Skate Kate, for my card, colouring her with my Promarkers, of course, and getting a head start with my Christmas cards.  It's never too early!

 The papers I've used for the background and the mittens are the first of my "new things", they were a Christmas present.  They're from The Works and are a 12x12 double sided pad of Christmas designs in a nice heavy weight.
My other new items are the two pompom trims, which I've layered up, both from Hobby Craft, and the sentiment stamp, which is from a Woodware set.
The only other embellishment I've added is a pair of mittens made with a Memory Box die, which I've hung from baker's twine.
